James Ford and Jas Shaw of UK dance duo Simian Mobile Disco played their only US show of 2017 at Moogfest in Durham, North Carolina, on May 19 — and all was good.
They played through the entirety of their newly released album Whorl, an album which was recorded during their performance at Pioneertown using just two modular snyths, two sequencers, and a mixer.
The album itself was created in order to “blur the boundaries between studio composition and live performance as much as possible” and as a result they have devoted their entire tour to bringing the album to life across North America.
